You mean premium, niche!
I wonder what percentage of TV sets sold in, say, France, Germany or the UK
next year will be HDTV.
Doesn't this mean 3 million sets of the 11.7 will be sold in 2004?

CUMULATIVE SALES TOP 11.7 MILLION UNITS
One Out of Every Four Sets Sold In 2004 Will Be An HDTV
Arlington, Va., August 25, 2004 - Manufacturer-to-dealer sales of digital
television (DTV) products continued to soar during the first half of 2004,
reaching 2.8 million units and dollar revenues of more than $2.7 billion,
according to figures released today by the Consumer Electronics Association
(CEA).
"DTV sales have now reached a total of 11.7 million units since market
introduction in 1998 and most of those sales have occurred during the past
two
years," said Sean Wargo, senior industry analyst for CEA. "With high
definition
(HDTV) products constituting the vast majority of total sales, these figures
show how quickly consumers are responding to the continued increase in the
amount of quality HDTV programming, such as the Summer Olympics. In fact, 1
out
of 4 televisions purchased this year will be an HDTV."
CEA also reported that DTV sales during the first half of 2004 are up 80
percent
compared to 1.5 million units sold in the same time period last year. CEA
defines DTV products as integrated sets and monitors displaying active
vertical
scanning lines of at least 480p and, in the case of integrated sets,
receiving
and decoding Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) terrestrial
digital
broadcasts.

Activity Reports and Analysis (MARA) program. With more than 500 reports
